Kids' Running Shoes(34)

Whether they're pushing themselves on the track or the playground, give active youngsters the support they need with our kids' running shoes. We design our children's running trainers with the same pro-quality technologies we use for our adult range. So, your budding sports superstar gets the best start possible. With sizes to suit kids from toddlers to teens, you'll find the right footwear for every stage of their sporting journey.

Performance from the ground up

From competitive sprints and distance events to family park runs, it all starts with the right outsole. Our running shoes for kids have lightweight, grippy soles that provide stability without weighing feet down. Look out for strategically placed tread patterns and targeted cutaway sections that give extra flexibility as they tear around the playground. Got a kid who's tough on their footwear? Opt for rubber-soled pairs that offer maximum durability, plus wraparound toe bumpers that help reduce wear and tear.

Protective cushioning

Growing joints and muscles need to be protected during exercise. That's why Nike youth running shoes are built with plenty of supportive features. Soft cushioning in the midsole ensures a springy feel. This is combined with wider forefoots for energy and shock absorption, soaking up the impact of each skip and jump. Meanwhile, trainers featuring our innovative Nike Air units offer a responsive, snappy bounce. This helps power them through training and play sessions alike.

The perfect fit

Small details make a big difference to sports performance, so our junior running shoes are packed with thoughtful touches. You'll find stretchy panels that flex with every movement so kids have the room they need. Meanwhile, breathable mesh inserts provide ventilation in high-heat areas. You'll find internal bands that hug close to the arch of their foot for a sock-like feel. For younger athletes, we've combined hook-and-loop straps with toggle elastic laces that let them dress quickly and independently. As kids grow, classic lace-up styles hold everything in place during the toughest training sessions.

Suit their style

We believe sports shoes and clothing should work hard and look good doing it. We make our kids' running trainers in a range of styles and colours. Let them choose their favourite, from go-with-anything black and white to bold shades like blue and orange. Colour-pop panels and our contrasting Nike Swoosh logo ensure their kicks stand out on the track. Looking for footwear for indoor courts and PE lessons? Choose pairs with non-marking rubber soles that also provide great traction.

Nike's Move to Zero

We're committed to a better tomorrow for today's youngest athletes. Nike's Move to Zero is our journey towards a zero-carbon and zero-waste future. To join us, choose kids' running shoes with the Sustainable Materials tag. It means we've made the shoes with at least 20% recycled content. Think durable polyester spun from old plastic bottles, carpets and fishing nets diverted from landfill.
